Caladiums and Freesias

I am getting busy today planting Caladium tubers and Freesia corms. Instead of planting them in the beds on the grounds this year, I am planting them in separate containers. If they sprout and do well, I hope to sell them at the farmer's market this coming summer. I may keep just a few. These are all mixed varieties so I can't wait to see how colorful they may be!

About Me

After years of living in town, on a street that seemed to growl at me each time I stepped outside, my dream of country living came true a few years ago. Now my dream of creating a farm and making the land productive is in the making. I am starting out small and slow, learning as I go along. Wildflowers, tulips, and daffodils are slowly taking over the untamed land. Chickens and ducks are beginning to hatch. Pumpkins and orchards are looking hopeful. The ground and the weather can be harsh and unforgiving at times, but just like an artist with a blank canvas, I will keeping working at it until I make it beautiful. When I'm not working with the land, I am busy stitching away on my "one day linen line" and other hand embroidered projects. My cup runneth over and I am truly blessed.Please stop by my other blogs....Yesteryear Embroideries for the latest stitches, and My Country Kitchen for great recipes.
